What is Machine Systems Engineering?
The food and mobile equipment industries need engineers with a background in mechanical design, electronics, manufacturing and assembly processes, instrumentation and control sensors, biology, and quality control. From creating intelligent machines that plant, cultivate, and harvest crops, to designing forest machinery and soil sensors, to developing prescription farming technology, highly creative engineering is essential. Students will learn about analysis and design tools such as finite elements, CAD/CAM, solid modeling, and dynamic simulation. As a graduate of this curriculum, you will have excellent employment opportunities with a wide spectrum of manufacturers, consulting engineering firms, service industries and government agencies. For example, current graduates are developing new equipment, crop processing and handling machines, buildings and feed processing and handling equipment for animal agriculture, horticultural production facilities, construction and mining, forestry, l
